PM Kristersson looks forward to discussing Sweden’s NATO membership with Orbán in Budapest
Change language:
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson expressed on Monday his confidence in Hungary’s commitment to finalising Sweden’s accession to NATO, stating that there is “a strong will” from Hungary’s side.
We have reached another episode in Sweden‘s to NATO membership. Following Turkey’s endorsement of Sweden’s entry into the military alliance, Hungary found itself in an uncomfortable position. The expansion of the world’s most powerful military coalition was blocked by a nation with a modest army, citing previous disparaging insults from Stockholm. Demands were absent, leaving uncertainty regarding Hungary’s desires. However, it appears that Orbán has successfully navigated this peculiar deadlock by brokering a significant military equipment agreement with Sweden. Now, even to his constituents, the former veto may seem justified. One thing is certain: Hungarians harbours no ill will towards the Swedes, nor have they ever.
…ensure that no Trojan horse is left behind…
Tusk needs to keep his nose out of Hungary’s internal decisions. Hungary and Sweden could solve their disagreements without communist Tusk. Tusk is no wiser than he was before, that is saying there is not much in his attic.
